The drama tells the story of an interior designer and a veterinarian who slowly developed feelings for one another. Anticipation runs high as the talented crew and cast come together for this project. 

On October 29, it was confirmed that Choi Hee Jin had been cast in Motel California alongside Na In Woo and Lee Se Young. The actress will play a veterinarian who was Na In Woo's college junior.

Ji Kang Hee grew up at Motel California, where her father worked, and endured gossip due to her mixed-race background. She loved her childhood friend, Cheon Yeon Soo, but left for Seoul at 20. Now a successful interior designer, she returns to her hometown after 12 years and reunites with Yeon Soo, a local veterinarian. Though he's avoided romantic entanglements, his feelings for Kang Hee remain unchanged.
